hi, i have been looking on other sites regarding on what common plecs, bulldog plecs eat it says that they eat cucumber, zucchrini sprouts and they also each spinache, i was wondering if you know if they eat the spinache cooked or do they just eat it as a full leaf and would it have to be weighed down to the bottom of the tank.

when feeding spinache it is usualy blanched before adding to the tank to break down the cellular structure to make it easier for them to eat, place a few leaves in a cup of boiling water for a few seconds until the colour of the leaves changes and they go slightly limp then place in some cold water prior to adding to the tank, the leaves should sink on their own and allow the plecs to find and enjoy them.I tend ot use organic spinach for my plecs I also keep a bag for frozen organic spinach in the freezer which can be used if you decide to make it a larger part of their diet, with the occaisional treat of fresh.
